English Abstract

COVID 19 pandemic sheds light on the entanglement of urban planning and public health in neoliberal urban contexts with special attention to justice.

“good health and wellbeing” are one of the sustainable development goals.

this article argues that neoliberal urban practices result in a good quality of life for privileged populations, but negatively affect the vulnerable and lead to health injustice from the perspective of urban planning.

hence, quality of life is negatively affected since health is a crucial aspect within the discipline of quality of life.

the spatial determinants of health-related quality of life are essential to be considered when speaking about justice in cities.

this article aims to promote health through raising awareness of these spatial determinants and suggesting some recommendations aiming for the prevalence of health justice.
